It wasn't that funny and just tried to play off the success of previous Will Farrell classics i.e. Anchorman and Elf (fuck you if you disagree about that one).<BR/><BR/>One of the worst sports movies was The Replacements. It was predictable and unfunny, and basically consisted of scenes randomly put together without transition. The movie had no flow to it. Oh God, and then there is that awful scene of them singing "I Will Survive" for now reason. That movie fucking sucked.Feelin' Bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370402836358077479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-33185010087761085772008-03-28T12:59:00.000-04:002008-03-28T12:59:00.000-04:00All I hope for is that Miracle is ranked ahead of ...All I hope for is that Miracle is ranked ahead of Talladega Nights (mostly because hockey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nascrap).<BR/><BR/>And Glory Road better be on this list.Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661718934398165129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-43019102366529533342008-03-28T12:50:00.000-04:002008-03-28T12:50:00.000-04:00I'm confused about T-Good.

The 7th Floor Crew was a group of Miami Hurricanes football players a few years ago who made a recording of them rapping about their sexual exploits. They basically describe Roman orgies in their dorm room and express pity for the sucker whose girlfriend winds up there. <BR/><BR/>I think it came to light the year before the fight with FIU. Some prudes on ESPN made a big deal about it, and one guy basically wrote about it as if it was a war crime, but I thought it was pretty funny. I just saw it as a bunch of guys clowning around and writing really dirty, sexually deviant limericks.Feelin' Bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370402836358077479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-67426574593944430522008-03-28T10:56:00.000-04:002008-03-28T10:56:00.000-04:00"Apparently the 7th Floor Crew has moved to South ..."Apparently the 7th Floor Crew has moved to South Quad."<BR/><BR/>blue,<BR/><BR/>Enlighten us foreigners; what does the above statement mean?whetstonebuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13855497571093157762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-76921392004096409252008-03-28T10:17:00.000-04:002008-03-28T10:17:00.000-04:00So apparently our Coach "Rod" is a sexual deviant....So apparently our Coach "Rod" is a sexual deviant.<BR/><BR/>"<B>This is not my first rodeo</B>, and I think if you went back and asked the majority of guys about their experience playing in our program, they'd feel pretty good about it."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/annarbornews/index.ssf?/base/sports-2/1206702606238630.xml&coll=2" REL="nofollow">Coach Rod won't apologize for erosion of family values</A><BR/><BR/>Apparently the 7th Floor Crew has moved to South Quad.Feelin' Bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370402836358077479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-79492084416486845342008-03-28T09:59:00.000-04:002008-03-28T09:59:00.000-04:00If you've never seen it (and I'll have to do some ...If you've never seen it (and I'll have to do some serious digging if it's not readily available on youtube) NBC did a montage of sorts- no, not a montage, a combination, or overlay of Kirk Gibson's game winning homer for the Dodgers and the last at bat in The Natural.

A good movie, but it wouldn't be any higher on a list I would construct.<BR/><BR/>A League of Their Own is a terrific period movie. It does a really good job of exploring the changing roles of women in American society necessitated by WWII. It always reminds me of my mother, who is the same age as the women depicted in the movie and a feisty competitor (to this day).<BR/><BR/>I've never seen The Rookie, so I can't comment on that one.<BR/><BR/>I happened to be in the sixth grade when the original Bad News Bears was released. It will always rank as one of my favorites, and I'd have it much higher on my own list.<BR/><BR/>The Natural is a visual masterpiece, and the story is American mythology. Plus, any movie with Barbara Hershey AND Kim Basinger should be watched repeatedly (see visual masterpiece, above).beast in 'bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562281321749885044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-78511506161896446092008-03-28T09:36:00.000-04:002008-03-28T09:36:00.000-04:00I got a ceramic sign from the Louisville Slugger f...I got a ceramic sign from the Louisville Slugger factory for my kid's room that says, "There's no crying in baseball."
